Summary

West Miami Middle School is a public magnet middle school serving 651 students in grades 6-8 in the Miami-Dade school district. Despite being a magnet school, West Miami Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to its peers, earning a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and ranking 939 out of 1,177 Miami-Dade middle schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 28.2% to 31.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the Miami-Dade district average. Additionally, West Miami Middle School's test scores lag behind the district and state averages, with only 36% of 6th graders proficient in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 62% in Miami-Dade and 60% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.53% to 88.65% over the past few years.

When comparing West Miami Middle School to nearby schools in the same district, such as Kinloch Park Middle School, South Miami Middle School, and Ruben Dario Middle School, it consistently underperforms on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates. Despite spending more per student ($12,227 in 2023-2024) compared to the district average, the school's academic outcomes do not reflect this higher investment, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of resource allocation and strategies to support student learning.
